Lay down, O weary one, lay down your head upon my breast.” I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn, and sad.

My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am the dawning light. Look unto me, your morn shall rise, and all your day be bright.” I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my star, my sun, and in that light of life I’ll walk till trav’ling days are done.
